In the blink of an eye, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Lin Yan held a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in Changkun Palace. All the foreign women of the third grade or above in the capital entered the palace to receive the banquet.

This year's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is a little different from previous years, this is the first Mid-Autumn Festival banquet supported by Lin Yan as the queen, and this year's trusted family nobles have also appeared a few new faces.

One is the Jiang family of the Marquis of Zhongshan, the other is the newly promoted commander of Guichengwei, the Gan family, and the other is Zhao Rin.

The festival banquet in the harem is to be consistent with the emperor's court, so the family members of the ministers who are close to the emperor or are ready to be reused should also be placed in front of the seat accordingly, or summoned to ask about family life to show closeness.

Foreign women have always been proud to be summoned by the queen at the festival banquet, which shows that their men have a place in the emperor and the court.

The Jiang family of Zhongshan Houfu has not seen them do anything meritorious in the past year, but it is true that they seem to be up.

Since the beginning of the first emperor's dynasty, the Zhongshan Marquis Mansion has not made any achievements in the court, and it has not been submerged by using the marriage of daughters.

Marrying a daughter in the Zhongshan Hou Mansion has always only focused on power, not on character or even age, and most of the other mansions hope to have sons, but in the Zhongshan Hou Mansion, there is a saying that they only want to give birth to girls and not men. The Marquis of Zhongshan has a concubine room, and gave birth to four golden flowers in a row, one of which became the side concubine of King Heng, and one became the second room of the eldest son of the eldest princess of Jingning, and two of them are to be sold at a price.

When the first emperor was in the Marquis of Zhongshan, there was an incident that made everyone laugh. The old Marquis Yat-sen wanted to marry his daughter to the youngest son of the then cabinet chief assistant Lord Yan, but Lord Yan refused on the grounds that the young son had already decided on a family affair. After several failed negotiations, the Marquis of Zhongshan said to Lord Yan: "Since I can't marry your son, but I see that the adult's room has been empty for a long time, I am willing to marry the little girl to the adult at a young age as a continuation, so that the marriage is also a good family affair." ”

At that time, Lord Yan was already fifty-five, and his wife had passed away for ten years, and there was no renewal, and there was only an old aunt in the house to serve. After hearing this, Lord Yan was so ashamed that his face turned red and he scolded the people of the Zhongshan Hou Mansion directly, and strictly ordered the family not to let the people of the Zhongshan Hou Mansion come to the door again.

This matter has been a joke after tea and dinner in the capital for more than ten years, but with the passage of time and newer things happening, gradually no one talks about it anymore, but as long as someone mentions it, everyone can still remember it.

And that Jiang girl later married a military general as a successor, that is, General Gan, the commander of the Guicheng Guard, who was recently promoted for his meritorious service in defending the southwest and suppressing bandits.

The children of the Jiang family were promoted, all of which happened after the Jiang family sent Jiang Xi into the palace. is that on the surface, it is said that Lord Gan was promoted because of his meritorious work in suppressing bandits, and some people speculate that there may not be no reason why the Jiang family is favored in the palace.

The ladies in the seat also had doubts, obviously hearing that although the Jiang family succeeded in the palace, it was not to the extent of being favored. Why did the Jiang family enter the palace, and the Zhongshan Marquis Mansion suddenly trembled in the court?

Some people who know the inside of the first emperor's harem speculated that the emperor's move was to protect the Jiang family, and the Jiang family was loved in his heart? Didn't the first emperor just think about the virtuous concubine all his life, but he didn't love the virtuous concubine, and finally was able to protect the virtuous concubine. The emperor is the son of a virtuous concubine, and he may have learned the methods of the first emperor, otherwise the Jiang family would not have spoiled the emperor's heir as soon as he entered the palace.

These people squinted at Mrs. Zhongshan Hou, and said in their hearts, it seems that they will have to face up to the relationship with Zhongshan Hou Mansion again in the future.

And Mrs. Zhongshan Hou raised her chin with a red face, happy to let these ladies think so. Even Mrs. Zhongshan Hou herself was confused about why the Jiang family was suddenly promoted by the emperor, but she was also willing to think that it was because of the Jiang family's relationship, and she was also willing to believe that the emperor did not favor the Jiang family in order to protect her.

As for Mrs. Zhao's new face, it is all Lin Yan's selfishness.

Although Zhao Rin was listed in front of the emperor and the crown prince, his foundation was still shallow, and he was not yet able to speak in the court.

But because of the foolish things that Lin Wan did, the Zhao family was tolerant, and Lin Yan was also willing to send a favor to Mrs. Zhao. And Mrs. Zhao seems to know how to vote for Li Baotao, and she brought Lin Wan with her when she entered the palace this time.

Lin Yan glanced at Mrs. Zhao's leg, last time Lin Wan pushed her to a broken bone, but now it seems that she is recovering well, and there is nothing unusual about walking and standing.

And Mrs. Zhao probably saw that Lin Yan was paying attention to her legs, and walked a few steps quietly to show her her legs, telling Lin Yan that her legs were fine.

Lin Yan glanced at Lin Wan who was silently following Mrs. Zhao with her head down, and couldn't help sighing. Obviously, Lin Wan was taught by the family, how could she be so different from Mrs. Zhao's ability to behave and be exquisite, she didn't even know how to step forward to support Mrs. Zhao's mother-in-law.

"How is Mrs. Zhao doing?" Lin Yan asked Mrs. Zhao to come forward and asked a few words: "I heard last time that you fell your leg, I don't know if you have recovered?" ”

Mrs. Zhao smiled: "The courtiers are very good. The courtier, an old woman, usually can't be idle, always loves to touch the east and move the west, but she didn't think about it, but she fell by herself, but she was tired and worried, and she missed Rin'er's scientific examination. As he spoke, he pulled Lin Wan over, as if he was very grateful to this daughter-in-law, and said in a satisfied tone: "Thanks to the medicinal materials rewarded by the mother, and thanks to the mother-in-law, if it weren't for this daughter-in-law's hard work in front of the bed, and the medicinal materials rewarded by the mother-in-law played a role, the courtiers would not have gotten better so quickly." ”

The last time Mrs. Zhao was injured, it was natural that Lin Wan pushed her to the point of falling and injured herself, and the two families unified their caliber, only that Mrs. Zhao herself accidentally fell and injured herself.

Mrs. Zhao's words were all for the Lin family's face, and she deliberately brought Lin Wan, and also made a face for Lin Wan, the daughter-in-law, in front of outsiders. But Lin Yan looked at Lin Wan with her head down and frowned, looking like she didn't like Mrs. Zhao pulling her close, and she wanted to hammer her head directly.

She didn't understand, how to knock and knock, the Lin family and the whole family had persuaded her so much, why she couldn't open her mind until now.

Mrs. Zhao also saw that Lin Wan didn't like her closeness, so she naturally let go of her hand, and sighed: "After the last fall, the courtiers didn't dare to move around at will, but they were idle at home on weekdays, and they had nothing to do in their hands, and they always felt empty in their hearts." If the maid can give birth to a grandson as soon as possible and bring it to the courtiers, the courtiers will feel that this day is complete. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Lin Yan, and there was a bit of a request in his eyes.

Lin Yan could naturally understand what Mrs. Zhao meant, Lin Wan refused to let Zhao Rin enter the room, how could she give birth to a son. When she said this, she still wanted her to persuade Lin Wan somewhat.

Lin Yan lowered her eyebrows and thought for a while, then raised her head and smiled at Mrs. Zhao and said, "Madam will definitely be able to get what she wants, whether it is the emperor or the crown prince, they have mentioned Lord Zhao many times in front of the palace." Lord Zhao is the pillar of the country, and Mrs. Zhao's blessings are behind. ”

After a pause, he said: "Speaking of which, it has been almost half a year since the maid entered the door, and there has been no news about the belly so far, or the reason for the body of this sister in this palace." Take advantage of entering the palace today, the palace will let the imperial doctor give the maid a good diagnosis of the pulse, if there is really a problem, it is good to treat it in time, if there is no problem, also ask for peace of mind. ”

Mrs. Zhao said gratefully: "Then thank you." ”

Lin Yan glanced at Lin Wan and said, "You come with this palace." As he spoke, he got up from the phoenix seat and advanced to the inner hall.

Lin Wan has always been a little stunned by this sister, and she doesn't really want to go in. However, there was a palace maid standing on the left and right, and she had already made a gesture of invitation to let her in.

Lin Wan had no choice but to follow into the inner hall. (To be continued.) )
